The Mother of All Hiatuses--Coming to an End Soon!

To my ten devoted readers,

I swear, I didn't mean to drop off the face of the Earth. When I said I'd return in the new year in my last post, I'd meant the first week of January.

And then I started my internship. Believe me when I say I was composing my mind-boggling post "Theory of Accelerated Karma" on my way to work in the first few days. But it didn't take long for the true meaning of "60-hour work week" to sink in (life's like that during busy season for accountants).

Finally that got done on March 2. Now I have until March 19th before school starts again. I plan to write 21K words between now and then. And then edit, edit, edit.

So if everything goes well, hopefully Theory of Accelerated Karma, the best thing since Theory of Relativity, of course, would see the light of the day in early April. If not--no, think positive, think positive. This is no time to panic.

And hahaha! to Orion. Variable reinforcement--a great training tool for dogs, and now blog readers, too! (I faithfully checked Sherry's blog about once a week between Dec. 12 and today, each week hoping she'd have posted something new. I'm as simple-minded and easily coded as my Catahoula hound.)
